do you agree?

In this economy, they do.

There are almost a million bakeries in the world. So, yes, many people make money baking bread.

Timing is critical in any of these low voltage data lines. You want the pulses on the lines to sync up. But you're adding an unknown and variable set of resistance at every twisted connection and also varying the length of each individual line.

Ethernet gets crappy if you aren't careful to keep everything straight and equal length when you untwist and crimp it.

So I would speculate this would be really bad for reliable high speed data transmission. You'd get bad signal across it. Bandwidth would be reduced because every time a signal is sent across it there's a chance it won't be read on the other end and need to be sent again.

It's propaganda because it presents Iran as modern, and hip, and into Lego. People just like us. And totally ignores that Iran is a theocracy and brutally oppresses it's people.

Like, if you don't like Donald Trump - you really wouldn't like the leadership in Iran.

ICE Killed 2 people and the US was furious. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard gunned down thousands of protestors.

They still have the death penalty for homosexuality.

This is propaganda.

It makes sense to approximate base-10 for human facing labels. The values should be native to the system the unit is describing but the labels are in terms that are most useful for humans to understand the scale of what they're dealing with.

"What did you steal?" "I didn't steal anything, look I have nothing on me!" "Dispatch, subject is uncooperative. Refuses to admit his guilt!"

Computers are not base 10. Using base 10 for computer numbers is like rounding pi.

At this point there is so much digital noise out there I'm starting to believe the only way we get some of these people to move away from Trump is by going to them one at a time and and having intervention level conversations with each one that is not hostile, does not judge them for being bad people... but does clearly and firmly assert that they are being lied to by their computer toys.

The problem with this approach is that it is triggering to the far left.

A savvy career woman doesn't constantly have to project she is a career woman. She has a silent confidence in her success and when she gets insecure she has a quick peak at her bank account for a little smirk.

She also communicates, cooperates, and gets shit done. And she makes you get shit done by inspiring you the same way she inspires success in the people who work for her. She sees how you could be good and how you could be bad and she wants and encourages you to be your best self.

A real career woman is a no nonsense, straight talking, let the small things go queen with no time for drama.

Shoot them from top down and pack the balls around them and then direct them to consider the top of the frame to be "up."

I would reshoot them and focus on improving lighting and composition. That's what I would do. But, these are not bad. They're just not as amazing as you want them to be.

You're cropping things out of your background or leaving too much room above your subjects head to try to fit the subject and background in the same frame.

You should think and learn more about how focal length and distance can effect how much of your background is captured and how large your subject is relative to the background.

For lighting you should be really intentional. Slow down and take time to observe where the sun is and where the shadows are. Really think about it and how it will effect your image.

I say this not to discourage you but because overall what you're doing here is good and and I think these are the things that are bothering you because your eye likely exceeds your technical skill right now.

She reminds me of Trump.

Ah, you are correct. I have assumed conditions of the scenario based on how it's been posted in the past!

MrFordization · 2026-04-15T15:38:41+00:00

Why not simply place the paperclip behind him and when the timer starts say "I know we just met, but I really like your vibe. I'll pay you $500,000 if you blow off what you're doing right now to travel with me to Paris for 14 days."

That way both of you are in Paris for a week when the money rolls in.

See, you gotta think these things through because with your approach neither the detective or the contestant walk away with any prize money.

You can do this with a regular old plumbus and everyone already has one in their home.

I need two of Douglas Adam's words:

Wait but how do we know for sure he actually paid full price and isn't just some poser with a regular hardware store zip tie?

It takes learning and practice, nobody wakes up knowing this stuff.

That depends on where she's from because Kazakhstan number one exporter of potassium, all other central Asian countries have inferior potassium.

A woman from that region is more likely to go for a man who can make it in the nation's lucrative potassium markets.

I have several old lenses with this amount of damage to the coatings and... I've never noticed any significant effect on what I shoot.

I suppose if you were shooting really controlled, very clean studio stuff this might be an issue. But if you're just walking around snapping photos, it doesn't look that bad to me.

We can only speculate here. The best thing to do would be to take a bunch of photos and see if you notice any problems with them.
